Seventeen years of mowing

 

 The Crapsman riding mower has been rode hard and put away wet.

  

And I was just thinking I probably ought to put some new blades on it when with a mighty crash the choice was made for me as I  caught a curbing paver with the mower deck .

Funky looking forked tip isn't it ?

That's seventeen years of grass wearing away hardened steel

  

Yea its time for new ones

    1. You think? LOL. Glad you stoped in. Missed your posts the last couple days. I know you have had a rough ride lately and we’re thinking of you. Hope you are ok.

    1. Yes, 16 hp Honda engine. Way better than the B&S. Way quieter too. Had to replace the coils on it about six yeas ago as it was refusing to make a spark when cold. But other than that and a new battery, that’s all It ever needed. The belt is still the original one.

  3. Glad that is the only item you damaged on your mower. I can now verify by your picture you have an unsettled mind M, your shed is way too neat and clean...

    1. Call it editorial power Kevin, if you crop the photo just right you don't show the rest of the mess. Its actually my old wood shed now converted to the Volvo garage. Not enough space to park any additional junk plus the car and the mower. But yes, the mind, now that's a whole other matter, sketchy as it gets.
